Patient's question:
The gastroscopy report said there was inflammation in the gastric antrum and angle, accompanied by patchy erosion. After taking medication for a while, the condition improved, but recently it has started to bother me again. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
I really understand your feeling. I had an endoscopy in August this year, which said there was inflammation with patchy erosion in the gastric antrum and angle. After taking medicine for three weeks, it improved for a while, but two cold watermelons on Tuesday made me feel pain until now. This stomach disease is really tiring. However, it's still necessary to seek proper medical treatment, as it's said that chronic gastritis can require medication for 2-6 months, which is normal. By the way, if the pain only occurs occasionally, like once or twice, no one would go to the hospital. It's usually when the pain is unbearable or persistent for several days that people start going. Stomach disease is not easy to alleviate. Patients should maintain a positive mindset and face it with a proactive attitude, as only then can they reduce their confidence in fighting the disease.
